Errázuriz Sauvignon Blanc, Aconcagua Costa

Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown only 7.5 miles away from the Pacific Ocean in the Manzanar Vineyard, which benefit from its cooling influence, are employed in this aromatic wine. Aged on its lees for three months to heighten the varietal character and lend texture and mouth-feel, it shows nervy acidity and minerally flavours blended with aromas of citrus fruits, herbs, green chilli pepper and passionfruit.

Produced in a variety of methods in the Old and New World resulting in a light and minerally style to more tropical flavours.

The Country

Chile

A viticultural paradise, where vines were introduced by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. A long, narrow country stretching 800 miles from the deserts of the north to the glacial south and it's these valleys and coasts that give the wine its variety.
